Slow Streaming? Check Your Wi-Fi First

A faster internet plan may not fix a weak connection near your TV. Your internet provider connects your home to the internet; Wi-Fi connects your devices to your home network. Either part can affect playback.

Distance, walls, nearby networks, and router placement can reduce performance—even with a fast internet plan. Our updated guide helps you check what is happening before buying new equipment or upgrading your service.

Start With a Simple Comparison

  • Compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet when available.
  • Check the connection where you actually watch.
  • Improve placement and compare Wi-Fi bands when needed.
  • Use the IP Support Troubleshooting Tool to collect results for support.

The guide explains what each result means, which settings are worth checking, and when to contact your provider or IP Support.
